Beauty Gives

"Beauty always promises, but never gives anything." - Simone Weil, philosopher

I'm not sure I agree with this. I'm not familiar with the context here, but for me, I've gotten something from seeing the beauty in many things in this life. Maybe I just see things differently.

I see beauty everywhere I go. In the sunrise or sunset, in the trees and flowers abundantly growing as the rains come to Florida, in the eyes of the people I meet up with along my journey every day - all of these have a particular beauty that I am drawn to. I know in my heart that it's because I'm connecting with my Higher Power through prayer and meditation regularly now. God created everything that I find beautiful. It's an amazing arrangement.

So, from my perspective, I would have to say that beauty gives ever so much. I believe it's all a gift from God. We are truly blessed.
